swag

Today out of the blue I got a package from Hilton ( specially the Hilton All Suites Marketing Team which is similar to Marriotts M Crew). Inside I received these things:

A dog bowl, treats, and a waste disposal thing that fits on a leash.

A nice note

And a free night at Home2 Suites certificate.

So the question is why? Being a Hilton LT Diamond helps I bet, but being a unabashed Hilton fan on Twitter probably was the reason. Not having a pet, anyone want the pet stuff? I'm keeping the free stay certificate.

Now, its a Marriott site, so recently I received this from Marriott ( already posted on this site elsewhere).

So the question is why? The jury is still out on this one. I believe it's a door prize for going to a RI Grand Opening.

So the question is, what swag has everyone received from Marriott, be it from stays or otherwise?

I got a Tile, a JW Houston passport cover, a drawstring backpack type deal, a bluetooth speaker, a microfiber cloth, a pen, and maybe 9 JW pens I stole from the lounge that were there for the photo release forms.

I believe I received the cord holder as a door prize for going to a Grand Opening of a Residence Inn, although I'm not 100% sure as it didn't come with a note or card or explanation. I'm a Marriott newbie/nobody, so surely I didn't earn it through stays. BTW: you can have my cord case as it pretty useless for me as once you put the adapters (that did not come with the cord) in it, its difficult to close. I do however want the cord as it's first rate.

Love the cord

Cord case is good for cords, not so much when adapators ( iPad, iPhone) are added in.

The free Westin Let's Rise swag is in and way way more than I expected (Was expecting 1 lighted wristband and 1 set of lighted shoe clips). Love it and will try it all during Tuesday's morning run. Way to go Westin, M Crew Live! Many thanks.

Yea I have received the BT speaker a few years ago, the MR Tile and then the Android/Apple power cord. Also have a couple of Marriott luggage tags. Useful items, but nothing to write home about. I liked the Tile enough I bought another when the batter died. and the power cable is very nice in a mixed family (Apple/Android). We have one of those iPads still floating around.

Well you're long overdue for swag being a LT Platinum for sure. I schmooze up Twitter/Facebook/Instagram to get mine as you never know what might amuse the M Live crew. The Westin stuff came via SPG assist on Twitter.

So in my desperation to claim the EDITION brand pen, that apparently I never pilfered from the Miami Beach EDITION two months ago, I contacted their sweet VIP coordinator to see if she'd be so kind as to send me one. Well, she sent me a FedEx with a little note, saying that my hometown of Miami misses me & that my family at EDITION would love to have me back (to spend $500/night, no doubt). Nonetheless, the sentiment was welcome.

The FedEx pack contained three pens, plus four vintage-style Miami/EDITION post cards, two Le Labo packets of soaking bath salts, as well as four rose gold pineapple cufflinks! Very sweet indeed...

I bet you only got that after changing your name to PlatinumBoyForever. They don't treat lifetime Gold that way. Now had you gone with the suggested name SuperPlatinumManForeverAndForever, you would have been given Lifetime Platinum Premier Status as recognition. Too Late now to change it!!!
